Future Dutch national team goalkeeper Klinsmann back in action today against Mantova. Their winless streak grows, losing 3-0 helped by a red card early in the second half. Klinsmann doesn't seem to be taking the blame for the goals, and got credit for six saves. Cesena barely on the outside of the playoff race looking in with three to play.
If Klinsmann starts for the USMNT, that would be objectively hilarious. I would hate it, but it would be funny.
And then Floriani Mussolini gets called up by Italy and scores his debut goal on Klinsmann, triggering a meltdown on BigSoccer. Which emotions to feel; scream for Klinsmann's humiliation or Mussolini getting shot? It's a really serious dilemma. Then again, why not let Mussolini score on Klinsmann. Then shoot Mussolini.
Shutout win for Klinsmann and Cesena over relegated Cosenza. The win puts them 3 ahead of Bari going into the last match for the last playoff spot, though they would lose on the tiebreaker. A draw would see them into the playoffs, a great achievement for a newly promoted side. Just 2 saves for Klinsmann, but it still counts as a shutout.
It's a bit hard to be sure what the club's Twitter feed it trying to communicate with this poem, but Cesena clinch a spot in the playoffs courtesy of another two save Klinsmann shutout and a 90th minute Antonucci goal. Three straight wins to end the year wins them a tight battle for spots.
